Honda Odyssey engines, horsepower and mpg

Honda rates the V6 at 280 hp at 6,000 rpm and 262 lb-ft at 4,700 rpm on regular fuel. There is no hybrid or all-wheel-drive Odyssey: EPA lists a single FWD V6 rating of 19 city / 28 highway / 22 combined mpg for every model year from 2020 through 2027. The tank holds 19.5 gallons. Honda's 2027 pricing sheet labels the second trim "Sport"; its spec sheet calls it Sport-L.

  • The 2018 redesign added 32 hp over the 2011–2017 V6 without a change in EPA combined mpg.
  • Every Odyssey since 1999 has used a 3.5L V6; only the 1995–1998 vans had four-cylinder engines.

What changed: 2021 vs 2023 vs 2025 vs 2027 Odyssey

2021: Honda restyled the grille, bumper and LED headlights, made Honda Sensing standard on every trim (adding low-speed follow, pedestrian emergency braking and traffic sign recognition), and added a rear-seat reminder that ties into the CabinWatch camera on Touring and Elite. The outboard second-row seats were also redesigned to fold nearly flat. Pricing ran from $31,790 (LX) to $47,820 (Elite) before a $1,120 destination charge.

2023: The Odyssey got its first Sport trim, slotted between EX-L and Touring with gloss-black trim and 19-inch black wheels. It was also the first Honda to offer Honda Service Pass, which covers select scheduled maintenance for 2 years or 24,000 miles.

2025: A new grille and fascias, a standard 7-inch digital instrument display, a faster 9-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a 12.8-inch rear entertainment screen. The lineup became EX-L, Sport-L, Touring and Elite, from $41,920 before a $1,395 destination charge.

2027: Same V6, 10-speed and 19/28/22 mpg rating. The EX-L now starts at $43,195 and destination is $1,595. Honda's spec sheet lists HondaTex-trimmed seats on EX-L and Sport-L, leather on Touring and perforated leather with ventilated front seats on Elite.[6][7][8][1][2][3]

Odyssey seating, Magic Slide and cargo space

Every 2027 Odyssey seats eight. Magic Slide second-row seats, which slide sideways to open a path to the third row, and a one-motion 60/40 split third-row Magic Seat that folds into the floor are standard, along with tri-zone automatic climate control and heated front seats.

Honda quotes 32.8 cu ft behind the third row, 86.6 cu ft behind the second row and 140.7 cu ft behind the first row (standard figures). The minivan is 205.2 in long on a 118.1 in wheelbase, and curb weight runs from 4,526 lbs (EX-L) to 4,590 lbs (Elite).

  • 8 seats on every 2027 trim
  • Magic Slide 2nd row + Magic Seat 3rd row (standard)
  • Cargo: 32.8 / 86.6 / 140.7 cu ft behind rows 3 / 2 / 1
  • CabinWatch rear-seat camera and 12.8-inch rear entertainment: Touring and Elite
  • Towing: 3,500 lbs with trailer brakes and Honda tow package
  • [2]

Which used Odyssey years to buy (and which need extra checks)

Recall history is the clearest dividing line. The heaviest cluster sits on the first fifth-generation years: 2018–2020 Odysseys were recalled for power sliding door latches that could fail to latch (2018–2019) and outer door-handle cables that could freeze (2018–2020), a transmission control unit that could reboot and shift to Park on 2018–2019 models, rearview camera faults (2018–2020 and a separate 2018–2023 cable campaign) and, in 2026, side and curtain air bags that could deploy unexpectedly on 2018–2022 vans. 2018–2019 models are also covered by a connecting-rod bearing recall and 2019 by a timing-belt recall.

Fourth-generation vans (2011–2017) carry three second-row seat recalls: outboard seats that could stay unlocked (2011–2016), seats that could tip forward under braking if latched between positions (2011–2017) and walk-in seatbacks that could stay unlatched (2014–2016). The third generation (2005–2010) was recalled for fuel-pump strainer covers that could leak fuel, covering 886,815 vans, and 2007–2008 models for stability-system brake faults. 2002–2004 Odysseys are in the Takata driver and passenger air bag inflator recalls.

Practical read: a 2021-or-newer Odyssey avoids the 2018–2020 door and transmission-software campaigns and has standard Honda Sensing, while a 2014–2017 van is the simplest older pick if its seat recalls are closed. On any year, the deciding factor is whether the open recalls for that VIN have been done.[16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][6]

Used Odyssey inspection checklist

Run the VIN through NHTSA's recall lookup and ask the seller for proof that each campaign was completed; several Odyssey recalls (sliding doors, seat-weight sensors, the 2026 side air bag software) were issued years after the van was built.

  • Cycle both power sliding doors repeatedly, including in cold weather if possible (2018–2020 latch and handle-cable recalls)
  • Check the rear camera image shows every time you shift to reverse (2018–2023 camera recalls)
  • Lock, unlock and slide each second-row outboard seat and confirm it latches (2011–2017 seat recalls)
  • On 2018–2019 vans, ask whether the connecting-rod bearing inspection was done
  • On 2005–2010 vans, sniff for fuel odor near the tank and confirm the fuel-pump strainer recall
  • On 2002–2004 vans, confirm both Takata inflator replacements
  • [16][17][19][24][25][22][27][30][31][21][32]

EPA lists the 4-speed from 1999 to 2001 and the 5-speed from 2002 to 2004, all rated 16 mpg city and 23 mpg highway.[13][14][15][9]
First generation1995–19982.2L four-cylinder (1995–1997) or 2.3L four-cylinder (1998), 4-speed automaticEPA lists the four-cylinder Odyssey from the 1995 through 1998 model years at 19–21 mpg combined. We found no Honda release for this generation's output, so horsepower is not shown.[9]

Honda Odyssey problems and recalls

By NHTSA recall count, the 2018–2020 and 2002–2004 Odysseys carry the most campaigns: 13–18 per year for 2018–2020 (sliding doors, rear cameras, air bags) and 9–14 for 2002–2004 (Takata inflators, transmission, ignition interlock). Every recall repair is free, so the used van to target is one with all campaigns completed.
